Edited to add : Montse - Congrats!! I left a comment on your blog, for you to contact me. Yay!!

The good people at Carta Bella recently sent me the Wildflower Paper Kit to play with. The colors! Oh the colors! If you know me at all, you know that I adore colors. Beautiful rich colors? Anytime of the day, yes please!

When I think of Carta Bella - I immediately think about the gorgeous texture of papers they produce. *swoon* Their papers are almost like watercolor papers, you see. I haven't had the chance to use my watercolors or gelatos on them yet, but I will. When I do, I will report back here for those of you interested! :)

I absolutely adore that banner going down the side. That's the first thing I cut apart from the sticker sheet! :)

Hexagons were hand cut - first I traced the shape on a vellum, then used the vellum as a template to cut my choice of patterned papers.

Beautiful feathers. They're actually stickers, but I adhered them to come cardstock scraps first, then used some foam dots to add them to the layout. The same with the 'word art' stickers. Love the shadows they created.

I created the background using the free brush (designed by Chantal Phillippe) download from Shanna Noel's blog! Please head on to her blog and check out the Gratitude Documented project she has going on right now :) I also used lot of Studio Calico stamps - all in all, I had so much fun!

And now, on to the giveaway.

Carta Bella wants to send one of you a free Wildflower paper kit. Just let me know if you want to be in the drawing by leaving a comment on this post (please make sure you're contactable, as in I can email you or leave comment on your blog). As easy as that. Open to everyone. Absolutely everyone. As long as you're able to leave a comment, you're in. I will close the comment section before selecting the winner.

Hi Sasha! I love your work! it's so so nice and cute! Congratulations! I hope one day I'd be just half good like you in scrap! ; - ). I invite you to visit my blog: lesmiliunaidees.blogsot.com A lot of kisses from Barcelona! Montse

I agree with you - the first things I think about with Carta Bella are the beautiful rich colours and that amazing thick and soft texture to the papers. I love what you've done here with this stunning layout. Great page!
